One More Time

Holy week may be far from over but the nostalgia continuous for me to this day...

Looking forward to the Resurrection, onto the Galilea...pero wala pa, it's still Good Friday...

Done with the floral arrangements, covering against the heat of the summer sun...still need to finish the carroza of the Dolorosa
